For this assignment, we were asked to take portraits. I chose to use one of my best friends, eric, as my subject. The final three pictures I chose of him represent some of the different aspects of his personality that I love. The first being his serious side. The picture that is in color, of him in the back of the truck with a strong gaze into the camera shows his serious side. The side of him that is so deep and thoughtful and pure- also the side of him that is so strong. In his eyes I can see the struggles he has dealt with in his life and his ability to remain the strong and stable person that he is. The picture of him and his dog, Wimbly, show his loving and nurturing side. Just as he holds Wimbly with such care and love is how he treats me- he is always dependable and loving and there to take care of me and the look he is giving his dog and the way he embraces Wimbly portray this. Lastly the picture of his back of his head lying relaxed in the back of the truck show his easy going and care free side, the side of him that will lay relaxed and at ease with me all the time as we simply enjoy life.
Not only do these three pictures embrace three different aspects of Eric's personality but them embraced the different aspects of all human persona. We have our intense sides, our loving sides, and our care-free and relaxed sides. I feel that the pictures express emotions without words, something that I feel our clients are able to do through their photography as well.
